The correct option is B <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> phloem

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Phloem is a vascular tissue that helps in conducting food across the plant body while xylem helps with the transport of water. Phloem exhibits bidirectional movement of food throughout the plant, while xylem transportas water unidirectionally from roots to all other parts of the plant.
